Csf3 Gene Summary [Rat]

Enables growth factor activity. Involved in cellular response to lipopolysaccharide; positive regulation of cell population proliferation; and response to ethanol. Located in extracellular space. Biomarker of cystitis; lung disease; and middle cerebral artery infarction. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including allergic cutaneous vasculitis; artery disease (multiple); ischemia (multiple); leukemia (multiple); and lung disease (multiple). Orthologous to human CSF3 (colony stimulating factor 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Csf3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
